Guardians designated hitter David Fry will undergo surgery to repair a ligament in his right elbow, the team announced on Monday. He sustained the injury during this past season.
Fry was evaluated on Oct. 29, and doctors found he has a chronically insufficient ulnar collateral ligament with a resolving flexor strain of his right elbow, the team said.
Last Wednesday, Fry received a hybrid/internal brace and tendon graft reconstruction technique to address the insufficient ligament, the team said.
Fry will be unable to play for at least 12 months but is expected to return as a DH in six to eight months, the team said.
Additionally, the Guardians announced some roster moves on Monday:
- OF Myles Straw accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Columbus.
- RHP James Karinchak was activated from the 60-day injured list (outrighted and granted free agency)
- LHP Sam Hentges and RHP Trevor Stephan were activated from the 60-day injured list.
